I have found ways to dim and turn off the capacitive buttons using screen filters and Gravity Box, but I can't seem to find a way to time them out. It would be great to watch videos and use the daydream feature without the buttons being lit up the whole time (and not having to go out of the way to turn them off.) Does anyone have any ideas?

hi all
i just noticed on my tilt that all the keys light up except for the navigation keys..
is this normal or do I need to get my fone exchanged?
When you recover from a suspend/sleep only the screen lights.
If you tap on the screen only the screen will light.
If you slide out the keyboard only the screen and keyboard will light. The keyboard lights will timeout before the screen.
If you press the dpad, any of the front buttons, or any of the side buttons, (except power) they should all light up but will time out before the screen does.
Actually i was talking more about when you hit one of those green/red/ok/msg/windows/navigation buttons..
does the 5 way navigation also light up(Like the edges)..
No, 5 way dpad itself is solid and does not glow even around the edge.
I normally don't have capacitive button phones (or disbale the backlights on Samsungs) and this is my first DROID phone.. but I do notice that the capactive buttons backlight will auto turn off outdoors or in areas with a lot of light.
Has anyone found a way to manually disable the capactive button backlight without root? Is it even possible without root? I'd like to turn them off, becomes a bit of a distraction when watching videos or reading in the dark. Hopefully Motorola will put in an option in the near future.
Also, is anyone else kind of disappointed that Motorola did not implement the new graphic button layout design that Android 5.0 Lollipop will use? I understand it might be confusing to some newcomers or people in general, but I wish it was done personally. They were plenty aware of 5.0's layout. Just a weird oversight.
The Lux app allows you to turn them off.
I accomplished it by using Screen Filter and auto-launching it on startup with AutoStart.
I'm coming from the same background, a Galaxy S3 with the capacitive backlights turned off (CM11) and an S5 right after that briefly (they have that feature built into the OS).
So far literally the only complaint I've had is the backlight on my recent app-switcher is super uneven, likely an air-bubble in the glue. It bothered me having it on because it was uneven and this was my solution (which I prefer to having the lights enabled, even if it was an even distribution).
It seems like there is no setting under DISPLAY to disable the RECENT and BACK lights on our phone. The only way I found was to turn on POWER SAVING mode. But that down clocks the phone. If there is a way to do this on 5.1.1, please share

Thank you boss.
EDIT: I meant accidental, not actual. in the title above. Oops.
Basically is there a way to "lock" my watch in ambient mode until I press the side button? I already have all gestures turned off so movement doesn't wake my watch but I don't like having to make sure my watch isn't resting against my leg while sitting or against my arm when my arms are crossed. I am open to rooting if that provides a resolution.
I don't know about locking it to only be in ambient mode, but I use the app "Showear" to screen lock the watch. The watch will still go in and out of ambient mode with a screen touch (or wrist movement if you have that gesture turned on), but the app will act like a keyguard until unlocked. The app is free and has enough config options for my use, allowing me to set a pattern of taps and swipes to disengage the lock and and a quick swipe up from the bottom locks the watch. There are also options to automatically engage the lock when going into standby and so forth. So while it's not quite what you are describing with using the side button, it is an easy option that has been working well for me.
Have you tried this?
Is there any way to dim the brightness of the touch keys ("recent apps" and "back" button)? They are far to bright

Well. What I do is to turn off those lights. I think there is not a way to dim the brightness of those buttons (at least with stock roms). I keep it off because I know which buttons are and they only have one specific function: Back & Frequent apps.

Yes I turned them off too. But i think the lights are quite helpful. Sometimes I need some attempts till I hit them in the dark. That's why I would like to have them on, but not so bright that I get blinded.
I'm not using stock roms.
